Have I, Sparky Kronkite, herein "stumbled upon" a captive audience?
That would be you!
You who just clicked on my name, clicked on my stupid pick of a smiley faced icon - (I virtually never get mad and even if I did, I would hesitate using anything icon but a positive one) - you who may hate everything Sparky spews but you who may have read that I was posting thrice today.
You!
Are you trapped at your PC? Are you bound to your PC by business? The board mistress perhaps? Or is it pure, unadulterated fun, fun for you to be there? Or by perhaps medical constraints? Or are you simply addicted? Who knows? There might likely be a combination of all of these - as I think is the case with me.
And in the end - are you really captive? Are you even an audience? Or are you merely watchers, voyeurs? Watching life through a vacuum tube, emanating global information as painted via electron illuminated phosphors?
That would be you!
